Kilonewton (abbreviation: kN): is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of force where 1 kN = 1000 N. It is named after Isaac Newton in recognition of his work on classical mechanics, specifically Newton's second law of motion.
Atomic Mass Unit (abbreviations: amu, or u): also known as dalton (symbol: Da), is a standard unit of mass that used on an atomic or molecular scale (atomic mass). One unified atomic mass unit is about the mass of one nucleon (either a single proton or neutron) and equivalent to 1 g/mol.
How to Convert Kilonewton to Atomic Mass Units
Example: How many atomic mass units are equivalent to 29.29 kilonewton?
As;
1 kilonewton = 6.1427793270495E+28 atomic mass units
29.29 kilonewton = Y atomic mass units
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 29.29 times 6.1427793270495E+28 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 29.29 * 6.1427793270495E+28 / 1 = 1.7992200648928E+30 atomic mass units
Answer is: 1.7992200648928E+30 atomic mass units are equivalent to 29.29 kilonewton.
